There were a few I didn’t see the need for, like the ponytail holders for guys – yeah they have “guy” colors or designs but, they are WAY too expensive! lol The speaker for dogs? I can’t see spending time making up dog phrases and adding them… and I have a calming vest for Molly and it has music but it’s classical and I can’t even hear it unless I press it to my ear. I think this speaker was WAY too loud for a dog. So, those were my duds. I think if the lactation bar can be proven effective that would be one of my favs.

I watched her whole presentation and I still am not really sure what it’s supposed to do other than play music on a dog’s collar which would seem to be pretty annoying, I think, to the dog especially as loud as she had it turned up.

A Brookline, Massachusetts, entrepreneur empowers women to build businesses with her idea; a trio of entrepreneurs from Williamsburg, Virginia, pitch a new way to ease people into water sports; a registered nurse from Carlsbad, California, helps breastfeeding moms find a healthy way to increase their milk supply; and an entrepreneur from Burbank, California, presents her animal-themed pet apparel company.

Empowering women to create community
Alice’s Table brings women together to learn new skills, and live a social and creative lifestyle. Our goal is to be the bright spot in the modern busy woman’s life – the thing she looks forward to at home and on the town. Modern women don’t have time to be Martha, they need lifestyle delivered.

In May 2008, Glen Duff and Tim Zeckser regularly took friends from their church’s student ministry program out on Glen’s boat for some fun and fellowship on the James River in Virginia. “Fellows-in-a-ship”, they called it. Although their goal was to unify the small groups through water sports, they found instead that many friends struggled to get up on water skis and wakeboards. This left some in the group feeling left out and discouraged.

Glen and Tim began dreaming about ways they could get everybody up on the water and actively enjoying water sports. “We flipped over our paper placemats one day at lunch and started sketching,” Glen said. Desperation led to inspiration and inspiration led to a trip to the garage, where they got to work. They used plywood to construct their first prototype, which they concede didn’t work very well and was actually quite dangerous.

Tim was a student ministry leader from the College of William & Mary. Glen enjoyed designing products as a career and saw this adventure as a way to inspire the team he was fortunate enough to support and encourage.

The two had a fun dream and didn’t give up. They bought an old kneeboard at a garage sale and reconfigured it several times. It wasn’t great, so they created their our own novel shapes out of plywood, adding makeshift foot straps and cutting up and attaching an old collectible Cyprus Gardens water ski to it! When we rode it from our marina at Kingsmill, others on the water saw crazy fools…but we felt like crazy inventors! (eye of the beholder, and all that..)

With small glimmers of success on each trip, they went back to the drawing board dozens of times to create several prototypes, inviting other friends to work alongside them on the project. The mission was clear: create a safe board that allows riders from any age group and skill level to get up easily, and have fun skimming along on the water.
